About this map

The Selkirk Crest dominates this part of Boundary County, where the high-altitude landscape is defined by granite summits and glacial cirque lakes. Notable peaks including Temple Mountain, Kent Peak, and the distinctive formations of The Wigwams create a high-relief environment within the Selkirk Crest Management Area. This 2011 survey captures the hydrological network of the Idaho panhandle, featuring a high concentration of mountain lakes such as Two Mouth Lakes, Standard Lakes, and Beehive Lakes.

Drainage systems move water from these alpine basins via Kent Creek, Lion Creek, and Two Mouth Creek toward the Pack River in the east. Human intervention is minimal on this sheet, restricted primarily to logging or forest access routes like 2 Mouth Creek RD. The map serves as a detailed record of the physical geography of the northernmost Rockies, from the Seven Sisters to Eddy Peak, as they appeared at the start of the twenty-first century.
